Family and friends kept a somber bedside vigil Tuesday while police continue to search for clues and a suspect in Saturday night's shooting of 15-year-old Kristjan Ndoj, of Shelton.

"We don't have any information now," said a young man who, with a friend, was pacing nervously outside Bridgeport Hospital. Beyond the front revolving doors, five women sat in the first-floor lobby speaking Albanian in hushed tones.

Upstairs, Ndoj was clinging to life in the hospital's intensive care unit, where he was listed in critical condition with life-threatening injuries. His life had suddenly transformed from that of a happy teen who would ride his bike around town, searching for a soccer game to join.

On Saturday night, he and a friend decided to ride from nearly one end of the city to the other, stopping on Agawam Trial, where they met up with a group of teenagers. Tragedy struck at 8:45 p.m. when two gunshots rang out. One bullet struck Ndoj in the leg, another in the head. He dropped onto the driveway at 1 Agawam Trail, a raised ranch on in Shelton's Pine Rock section, not far from Sikorsky Aircraft.

Friends claim the shooting stemmed from a dispute over a girl.

Police have said that is one of the theories they are investigating, but little else.

On Tuesday, they returned to Agawam Trail for a fourth day and continued to comb for evidence.

"We're still trying to determine the trajectory of the shots fired," said Shelton Police Lt. Robert Kozlowsky.

He said officers continue to interview and re-interview individuals who have knowledge of the shooting and the injured teen. He said police are establishing a timeline of events that night.

No arrests have been made and no suspects have been detained, according to police.

Meanwhile, the tragic story of the Albanian boy known for his smile, kindness and soccer skills continues to tear at hearts in this city of 40,000 -- so much so that one resident, Violet Thaqi Wills, of Longfellow Road, started a fundraising effort to help the Ndoj family with medical expenses.

"This story is so shocking," said Wills, who has a 15-year-old daughter, Kayli, who, like Ndoj, attends Shelton High. "He's a child, just a baby. It's scary when you think of what could happen to your child when they go out today."

Wills knows tragedy. Her family went through one a decade or so ago, when a drunken driver plowed into a car containing two of her in-laws on Route 110.

"People were so kind and helpful to us back then that I thought this would be a good way of giving back," she said.

So Wills approached a friend who contacted a member of the Ndoj family. The family consented, and Wills set up the "Donations for Kristjan and his Family" site at www.gofundme.com.

"I set a goal of $5,000; hopefully we'll exceed that," she said.

By 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, that goal had already been met when 133 people had donated a total of $$5,317. Donors included the family of Victoria Soto, the Stratford teacher who was one of the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in 2012. Their donation includes the message, "From one broken family to another."
